    Marriage, A Prison Sentence?

     Have you ever wondered
    Why we are even here
    When all our friends are no where to be found
    All have, up and disappeared
    Crying does not help
    We used up all our tears
    No more comfort
    Nothing to ease our fears
    Stuck forever in this mess
    All we have is years
    Together forever has lost its true meaning
    In fact its a form of jail
    When looking forward to death
    Is its own form of bail
    Twenty five years and counting
    Stuck forever with kids with you
    If I knew then what I knew now
    Getting married would not of been the thing to do
    Anniversies of madness
    Years of a thousand hells
    Waiting for my last breath
    What a sad story to tell

    D.B. Johnson

    Great poem, I can totally relate. it's a damn good thing that divorce is an option. Maybe when I finally get a divorce I can start writing about happiness and sunshine :)

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
